Very cool use of cement and lime. Normally when I buy cement and lime it's because I'm trying to disappear a body.
Thanks mate I really appreciate you turning up to the premier and leaving a great comment 🤠😎💛👍
🤣🤣😭👍
I think the other trick to hiding one is to not talk about it but that might just be my rule. *shrugs * lol
@@silverkeys To each their own!
@@Shawn47 Here we have wolves and bears and more so that helps to dispose of waste. Lime for the loo. LOL
You have done our community a great service. Thank you sir!
You are very welcome I’m glad you are getting something out of my videos thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it🤠😎💛👍
Excellent video. I never knew it could be so cheap to make a crucible. Thanks for the info 4nines Fine! 😎 👍🏽 🤠
Thanks very much mate I really appreciate you turning up to the premier and leaving a awesome comment 🤠💛😎👍
Cool demo. Also better to make mouth of cavity shorter and depth of cavity deeper. Helps in melting metal faster, and not depleting entire oxy-acetylene cylinder.
Super reasonable crucible! We've made two--will make more when our weather warms up!
Great idea 4Nines Fine Silver 🐙👍
I like very much the sound of the hot pour template on water
The skull looks awesome too😎🥇👍
Yeah a lot of people like the sound of the quench when the red hot metal touches the water🤠💛😎👍
I dont have anywhere to do stuff like that but very interesting to watch
Well thank you so much for watching and giving a comment I really appreciate it🤠💛😎👍
That's awesome my guy I will definitely remember this video when I start pouring. Everytime i watch one of these videos I learn something I didn't know thanks for the info bro 🍻👍🍻👍🍻
Thank you my friend that is an awesome comment thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it🤠💛😎👍
@@4ninesfinesilver315 your welcome thank you for making these videos I'm gonna need all this info soon now I wont have to go around askin people a million questions lol🤣🤣🤣

that was awesome thanks 4ninesfine silver :}
Thank you so much that is very nice of you to say🤠💛😎👍
Unbelievable man. It's crazy how easy you make everything look. 👏🤠👍
That my friend is particularly easy🤠🤩😎👍
That is awesome! The skull came out great! I never thought about making a crucible.
🔥🦈🌊
Thank you! Cheers!
Well how about that!👍🏻 Love your pours and videos Brother! Thanks for the great info!
You are very welcome sea monkey I hope you are getting something out of them thanks for the comment🤠😎💛👍
Very cool. I like the idea of a homemade crucible
It’s a lot quicker than waiting for them to come from overseas that’s for sure 🤠💛😎👍
Awesome
Nice!
Thank you 🤠😎🤩👍
I'm amazed that the cement did not blow up! The times I have tried to use cement , plasters , lime to melt in they were explosive grenades.
That's usually the case.. its a TERRIBLE media for crucible. Physically, chemically contams your melted metal. It's very very far from ideal. There are equally cheap and equally easy ways to make crucibles that won't cause the same issues
Very nice demonstration
Thank you so much I really appreciate your feedback let’s hope it gets a few views🤠💛😎👍
Great video! Very helpful and casual!! Thanks and have a blessed day! 👏
Thank you so much may God bless your day also🤠👍
Nice video 4nines
Thanks mate I really appreciate your comment and turning up to the premier🤠😎💛👍
Awesome I love this video
Hi is grey cement normal cement? And nice video thank you really appreciate cheers 👍🏾
Hello 4nines Fine Silver sorry I’ve been missing your videos. Great instructional video my friend I appreciate you sharing. It’s so helpful I’m about to start my new pouring adventure and very excited to be doing it. It turned out great thanks for sharing. That skull is so detailed way to go I’m not a big fan of the skulls but that one is sweet . You are awesome my friend. I hope you have a great week.
Keep pouring
Best wishes
Thank you very much Sherie for your beautiful comment and words of encouragement I really appreciate them God bless you🤠💛😎👍
I’ll definitely use the lime and cement. Thanks again!
You are very welcome my friend good luck with it make sure you let it dry properly otherwise it will crack 👍👍
@@4ninesfinesilver315 I will. :)
Very good tutorial , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you I appreciate that my friend 🤠💛😎👍
New sub! I am going to love these videos. I just started pouring silver
Awesome that is great news to hear the extra Watch time and the thumbs up wouldn’t hurt that’s for sure😂😂if I can help in anyway don’t hesitate to email me with your questions .🤠💛😎👍
Excellent and fascinating. Cheers!
Thank you Dana for your encouraging words 🤠😎👍
Awesome brother! Nice to know you can make your own crucibles!
Hey Keith, they work surprisingly well 🤠💛😎👍
❤
This is a game changer for me.

Police: "Sir what are you doing with this Cement and Lime?"
Me: "Making a Crucible..."
Police: "Book 'em."
I am extremely curious about how these could hold up in a gas furnace. This is something I will have to experiment with
I think you would have to adjust the shape of them but I think it would stand up quite well because I’m not using any sand there is nothing there to breakdown🤠💛😎👍
For the price you have nothing to lose to try 💛😎👍
These are interesting, but I am not sure how long they would hold up in a traditional gas fired furnace. If they had any moisture content they would probably end up cracking and you wouldn't want that. Usually most refractory cements are designed for the immense heat of the furnace. You are probably looking at 24-2500 degrees when you pull the crucible out, at least for the outside wall temp. It would be something to test a few time b4 using any metal in it. Did you bake them any in a oven or just sunshine? Just looking out here, you really dont want a steam explosion or a crucible full of molten metal hitting any part of you.
With as little as I know, I would recommend adding a bake off to the initial air dry. I'd even go so far as to bake it at 250F for a couple of hours in a conventional oven, to prevent a catastrophic failure, in an effort to drive all of the residual moisture out of the piece. Also, use less material. You do not want an internal steam explosion. It could ruin your kiln, or severely injure you.
@@silverunicorn2645 you are exactly correct. I'm more than guessing it wouldn't hold up in a regular furnace. Seems to work pretty good for the acetalene torch. I don't think I would risk using anything other than clay/graphite or ceramic. If you could get your own clay and graphite and make that way, would be better.
Nice video
Thank you 🤠💛😎👍
Can you put this kind of crucible in a furnature, resist 1200 C? Thank you, is good the video
Nice job
Thank you Bill 🤠👍
I see the glaze and bowl shape was immediately damaged after that one use. Would a patch up on damage and reglaze make this reusable or would it best to recycle the old ones into a new one?
You can definitely patch up the glaze I’ve had one of these crucibles last for months with constant use, although if you were going to melt metal on a regular basis, you would be better off with a prefabbed Crucible. They are not very expensive. I also have a video on subject czcams.com/video/OMyssKCzN48/video.html 🤠👍
Very cool idea!! Man I may be able to afford this afterall!!
Yes you don’t need to spend a lot of money to enjoy pouring metal 🤠😎🤩👍
Very cool, mate. I guess I’m off to Bunnings this weekend!
You are very welcome my friend good luck with the project😂💛😎👍
Nice video.
Thanks my friend I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment💛😎👍
Simply brilliant
Thank you so much I appreciate the comment🤠💛😎👍
Good demo
Playing with molten metal is no joke. Because your crucible is not hot at the bottom doesn't make it safe to be handling it without a glove. It only takes one screw up and that metal will become part of you. I hope it never happens to you but if it does I hope you man up and warn everybody about how dangerous carelessness truly is. What a nightmare waiting to happen.
Yes you are right thank you for warning everyone in your comment I certainly will emphasise the risk in my next video thank you🙏🤠👍
Great video and information. Thanks I will definitely try this thanks again 👍
Awesome, please make sure you let it dry completely 🤠👍
@@4ninesfinesilver315 for sure ! Do you use petrobond or make your own?
@@Quahogstacker There is no way you can get this sort of detail with premixed sand you have to make your own. Sorry I can’t help you with that😖
I thank you for this info .
You are very welcome🤠👍
Very nice. 👍
Thank you 🤠💛😎👍
great information, thanks for sharing it.

I wish we could see the chat in replay. I had asked if you had used this much yet, before posting the video and how well it's held up verses the plaster of paris ones? The same? Better? We have some posts to set when the ground thaws here this spring and we could make up some of these to use if they hold up well!
I will email you 🤠💛😎👍
Nice job buddy. Is there any way that you could put a handle on it something like a coffee cup handle
Vous êtes professionnel et professeur merci pour la leçon
Thank you ❤️🤠👍
Hi, as I watched this the thought that there may be a safety concern crossed my mind. First, kudos on experimenting. Many USA versions of prepared cement have small rock(s) in it. There is a potential for these rocks to explode. Thus, it may be that one is better off mixing their cement from scratch using "fines" (sand) and powdered cement only.
Yes I agree with you you are better off to use cement alone with no sand or anything else in it I am just preparing to make a new video on that very subject I have had never had one explode as yet but they do tend to crack after a while👍
If you get Portland Cement it does not have rocks and other aggregate mixed into it, concrete on the other hand does have those rocks. To be sure to get a cement not a concrete mix
I like that your T-2 is like my One Eyed Willie on my table top... Table mascot! Really fascinating stuff man... Did you just learn all this stuff by trial and error? Found this video so interesting! Way cool! Crucible works like a charm! Really awesome skull bro! Great video!
Yes mate I needed a new Crucible and most of the suppliers were overseas and I didn’t want to have to wait two or three months for the delivery so I thought I better start making my own and each time I make a new one I improve on it my first Crucible video has received over 7000 views so far and so I thought I would keep doing them until my channel started to grow🤠💛😎👍
I’m trying to come up with a smaller terminator skull so I can pour it in silver or copper🤠💛😎👍
How am I just seeing this now? CZcams is 🤪 good work! I'll check out the playlist
Thanks mate it’s been out for awhile that one👍 thank you I would really appreciate you watching a playlist or 2 my friend that would be great🤠😎🤩👍
So can you use mapp gas to melt the metals in crusable as well
Yes it just takes a little while🤩👍
Amazing proof of concept video I just have one question. Can this crucible withstand temperatures to melt steel or iron? Thanks again for the lecturio!
Thank you for your question Alex but I would probably say no. you would be better off to get a graphite Crucible for steel. 🤠👍
What was that you pushed the skull into to make the mold?
Hello my friend that is a special mix of green sand made with the finest silica sand on earth thank you for your comment😎👍
Very cool my friend.
Thanks mate I really appreciate your comment💛😎👍
Very cool
G’day mate thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment I appreciate it bro🤠💛😎👍
@@4ninesfinesilver315 no problem brother I enjoy your videos
Beware if concrete has any moisture in it ,it will explode like a river rock under high heat.
Yes Mike you are right. You must let it dry out completely 🤠👍
thank you!
Thank you 🤠👍
Excellent 🤩🤩🤩🤩😁🍻🍻👃🏻👃🏻👃🏻
Thank you my friend I thought about this one before I made it🤠😎💛👍
@@4ninesfinesilver315 and a very well thought out how to video it was for sure. Brilliant 🤩🤩🍻👃🏻
Exactly what I hoped for. Do you have any vids on crucibles that absorb x y or z.(being metals)?
Hey Shane thank for your comment . Not sure what you are asking, but I will be doing another crucible video soon.🤠😎🤩👍
A cupel?
Hi sir, thanks for your informative videos,
Please tell me, would this material used for this crucible survive in a furnace?
The honest answer is probably no . if you vibrated the mix very well and made sure all the oxygen bubbles were out. It may work but you would be much better off to use a graphite Crucible in a furnace. 🤠👍
@@4ninesfinesilver315 thank you, sorry for. All the questions, the graphite you referring to is that black fine powder that they use for dry lubrication also?
@@sparrafien yes, that is exactly right. The solid graphite is machined into the shape of a Crucible, 🤠👍
You can use dirt and stuff for molds too right
Not sure about using dirt I haven't tried it before. I normally use sand 😎👍
That is something that I can do
G’day Dwaine thank you very much for the feedback I really appreciate it🤠💛😎👍
Hey mate very good vid I just wanna know would I be able to melt my alluvial gold down in this and how much do you think would be the limit? Sorry for asking im just not sure. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your question. The short answer is yes it would work, but you would be better to spend a little bit of money on a ceramic Crucible because gold is very expensive and I would hate to see you waste any🤠👍
@4ninesfinesilver315 ok ill get some off ebay thanks mate
Can you use these in an electric oven??
Thank you for your question Bryant. But you would be better off to use a graphite Crucible in that situation🤠👍
What is grey cement? Is it normal building cement?
Yes just normal building cement 😎👍
Is the lime means CaSo4.2H2o ???
What is the mixture?
50/50 lime/cement
What is garden lime ? Is it calcium carbonate?
